Three Fiber Crops Show Distinctive Biomass Saccharification under Physical and Chemical Pretreatments by Altered Wall Polymer Features

BioResources, 2016
Jute, kenaf, and ramie are important fiber crops in the textile industry, but their core stalks have not been well used. In this study, three fiber crops were examined with enhanced hexoses yields (% cellulose) up to 4.8-, 3.6-, and 1.9-fold from ...

Growth of Poinsettia in Potting Media Amended with Ground Kenaf Stem Core [PDF]

HortScience, 1997
Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. `V-14 Glory Red', `V-17 Marble', and `Jingle Bells 3' were grown in various peat-based potting media amended with ground, non-composted woody stem core of kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus L.) and fertilized at every irrigation with a 17N–2.2P–13.8K ...

Kenaf: Opportunities for an Ancient Fiber Crop

Agronomy
Hibiscus cannabinus (kenaf) is an annual fiber crop grown in warm seasons and known for its remarkable productivity; it has been cultivated worldwide for thousands of years as a fiber source. While every part of the plant can be utilized for some purpose,

The effect of fabrication methods on the physical properties of Sumberejo kenaf fiber - Polyurethane foam core sandwich composite for sustainable building construction

Results in Materials
Sandwich composites made of natural fibers are currently being investigated for use in buildings. Kenaf fiber is an environmentally friendly material that is widely used in cement and polymer composites owing to its strength and support.

Influence of the chemical composition of kenaf bast and core on the alkaline pulping response

Journal of Wood Science, 2001
The bast and core of kenaf,Hibiscus cannabinus L., have markedly different chemical components and alkaline cooking responses. The bast had about double the hot-water extractives content and only about half the lignin content of the core. The core contained a large amount of hemicellulose, mostly composed of xylan.

Composition-centered prediction of kenaf core saccharification for next-generation bioethanol via machine learning

Frontiers in Fuels
IntroductionBiomass pretreatment outcomes are heterogeneous across routes and severities, and condition-centered empirical models often fail to generalize beyond the settings on which they were trained, limiting early-stage decisions about where to focus

Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic adsorption studies of acid dyes on adsorbent developed from kenaf core fiber

Adsorption Science & Technology, 2018
Quaternized kenaf core fiber (QKCF) was used as an adsorbent for adsorption of anionic Acid Blue-25 (AB) and anionic Acid Green-25 (AG) dyes. Chemical treatment with (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride under basic condition was applied ...
